Dedicated surgical suite. All of our surgeries are performed in a dedicated surgical suite, which is kept completely sterile to prevent infection and cross-contamination.
Surgical attire. Anyone in the surgical suite wears disposable masks and caps at all times. Those involved in the procedure wear single-use gloves and sterile gowns.
Sterile packs and equipment. Before each surgery, our surgical instruments and equipment are carefully cleaned, sterilized and wrapped.
